The scheming empress starts by conquering men

In the post station, Shaodian Sishui asked Zhong Wuyan to sit down first, and she opened Zhong Moyao's letter with a little anxiety.

She was a little curious about what Zhong Moyao wrote to her.

It's a thick page with elegant and powerful handwriting, which makes one feel refreshed both physically and mentally.

Half a minute later, Zhong Wuyan finally couldn't sit still anymore, she stood up and looked forward to seeing Shaodian Sishui.

"Your Highness, what did Ayao write in the letter?"

Shaodian Sishui took the letter, looked at Zhong Wuyan with deep eyes, folded the letter and didn't show it to her.

"This is written to me. Didn't you also receive the letter from A Yao?"

She hasn’t even read the one A Yao wrote to Zhong Wuyan, and she wants to read her own?

Zhong Wuyan smiled innocently, scratched her head, and said truthfully, "Most of the letters A Yao wrote to me were about his concern for Your Highness, asking me to come and greet Your Highness and see if Your Highness needs to visit me."

Just a few words saying that he missed her, but that was not written to her, it was clearly written to His Highness.

It is true that once a brother is married off, he is like water spilled. A Yao has turned his elbow outward.

Shaodian Sishui's eyes deepened slightly and the corners of his mouth turned up.

Zhong Moyao is quite smart. In order to bring Zhong Wuyan closer to him, the letter he wrote to her shows his concern for her. The letter to her seems to be expressing his deep love for her, but in fact it is asking her to help Zhong Wuyan.

She handed the letter to Zhong Wuyan; "Read it yourself."

Zhong Wuyan couldn't wait to take it with both hands, opened it and took a closer look.

The content roughly means.

“My beloved wife, Your Highness: I feel as though I have met you in person when I write these words. When A Yao picked up his pen to write these words, my heart was filled with longing for Your Highness.

When His Highness opened the letter, A Yao knew that His Highness had arrived in Huaicheng. Although they were thousands of miles apart, A Yao's heart was always with His Highness.

Although it was only a few days since he last saw His Highness, A Yao felt as if a long time had passed.

Whenever night falls, A Yao always thinks of His Highness's gentle smile and warm embrace before leaving.

I have no appetite and cannot sleep at night.

This feeling of longing made A Yao deeply feel the pain of separation.

The Qiqiao Festival in Bianjing is approaching. Ayao is looking forward to your return and hopes that we can get together on this day full of romance and love.

But A Yao knew that when His Highness returned it was the winter solstice and the first snow.

A Yao is not with Your Highness, so please take good care of yourself and do not get hurt.

Your Highness's presence is the brightest light in A Yao's life. Without you, A Yao feels lonely and isolated.

The eldest sister Zhong Wuyan is the general defending Huaicheng. Although she holds a high position, she has a straightforward personality and a simple mind.

Sometimes you will be deceived by the sweet words of some nobles and make some unwise decisions.

If her behavior in Huaicheng was inappropriate, A Yao begged His Highness to give her some help and guidance for the sake of their relationship.

A Yao believes that His Highness' wisdom and talent will help her overcome the difficulties.

I hope that everything goes well for Your Highness in Huaicheng, and that he will return home soon to welcome his bride.

I look forward to the moment when Ayao and His Highness will be reunited soon. Ayao will welcome His Highness back to Beijing with the deepest hug and the most sincere love."

After reading it, Zhong Wuyan's expression changed again and again.

My brother missed Her Highness, so he wrote more words of missing her, saying what she did and that she was deceived by the sweet words of the nobles. Is she that kind of person?

Shaodian Si Shui had been observing Zhong Wuyan's every move. When she saw that her expression looked a little unnatural, she chuckled.

"finish watching?"

Zhong Wuyan nodded, folded the letter awkwardly, and handed it to Shaodian Sishui with both hands.

Shaodian Sishui took back the letter and put it in the pocket of his clothes inside his chest.

"Ayao cares about you very much."

She does care about him, but to say that she is simple-minded and straightforward is an insult to her sister who is already a general.

She also asked His Highness to help her, and A Yao dared to say anything.

What is His Highness's identity? What is her identity? How dare he say this to His Highness?

If she were to ask him, A Yao must have been spoiled by His Highness.

Zhong Wuyan took a few steps back and sat opposite Shaodian Sishui, feeling unhappy.

It was one thing to know in her heart that her brother looked down on her, but it was another to have it pointed out to his face.

After all, it's embarrassing.

What's more, he didn't point it out to her face, but wrote a letter to His Highness without telling her, saying that she was simple-minded and straightforward.

Praising openly but actually criticizing secretly.

Shaodian Sishui didn't care what she was feeling at the moment. He looked at her with deep, scrutinizing eyes.

"Zhong Wuyan, do you know the current situation of the Zhong family?"

What is the situation of the Zhong family?

What's the situation? What happened to the Zhong family?

Zhong Wuyan frowned, failing to understand the meaning of Shaodian Sishui's words. She stood up, saluted, and looked at Shaodian Sishui.

She spoke in a calm and calm tone, whether just now or now.

At least in Zhong Wuyan's eyes, the princess always spoke in a calm and composed tone, and it was impossible to tell much from her thoughts from her expression.

But Your Highness talked about the Zhong family’s situation. What’s wrong with the Zhong family’s situation?

"Why did your Highness say this?"

Zhong Wuyan asked if she didn't understand.

Shaodian Sishui did not tell her the answer directly, but asked her instead.

"Qu Shouren said that people from my Great Zhou robbed their resources, but you said no, and you didn't find anyone robbing their resources. Instead, Qu Shou repeatedly provoked my Great Zhou and killed my people. I want to ask you, what do you think?"

What could she think?

What does this issue have to do with the Zhong family?

Zhong Wuyan was totally confused and scratched her forehead, thinking that His Highness was really weird.

Ask weird questions.

However, since the person in front of her was the Sixth Prince, she still gave a reasonable explanation.

"Isn't this an obvious problem? That Qu Shou is just talking nonsense, slandering our Great Zhou, and deliberately trying to provoke a war with our Great Zhou."

Shaodian Sishui hummed, nodded slightly and continued to ask.

"How dare a tiny country like Qusou slander our Great Zhou, and how dare you start a war before winter comes?"

Zhong Wuyan was stunned for a moment, thinking uncertainly in her mind and said again.

"Perhaps... Qu Suo wants to... increase the trade with Da Zhou a few more times?"

After saying that, she nodded heavily and said, "Yes, that must be the case."

She only thought of this possibility.

Qusou's country is so small that even the women, children and infants in the royal camp combined do not have as many pheasants as the Great Zhou. There is no way that Qusou would dare to start a war.

Even if they had a hundred thousand guts, they would not dare to provoke the Great Zhou, let alone go to war with it.

But the problem is that Qu Shou’s people have pointed out more than once or twice that the goods sold to Qu Shou were snatched away by people from the Great Zhou.

Since they didn't have the courage to provoke the Great Zhou, why did they slander the Great Zhou? She thought about this question for a long time.

The only explanation that makes sense is that Qu Suoren wants to trade more supplies from Da Zhou before the cold winter.

The trade between Qusou and the border garrison of Great Zhou was limited, and it was not possible to have as much as one wanted.

Shaodian Sishui smiled gently and leaned back in the chair.

"Even you can see the problem, which means that the reason you mentioned is just a superficial phenomenon. The real reason is not here."

Zhong Wuyan was stunned for a moment and looked at Shaodian Sishui in surprise.

What do you mean that even she can see the reason for the problem? It can only be a superficial phenomenon, not the real reason.

Zhong Wuyan's mind was full of question marks, and she didn't even understand what His Highness was trying to express.

very messy.

But she didn't say anything, but waited quietly, waiting for His Highness to give her an answer.

Shaodian Sishui paused, frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then asked Zhong Wuyan.

"Do you have a map of the territory connected to Qusou?"

"Yes." Zhong Wuyan replied subconsciously.

"Bring it to me."

Zhong Wuyan said nothing, took the order and turned to leave.

She didn't know what His Highness was going to do, but if His Highness wanted a map of the territory, she would naturally give it to him.

Fortunately, she left a map of the territory at her residence in Huaicheng, so she didn't need to run back to the tent to get it.

Not long after Zhong Wuyan left, Deadpool, who was staying in Dari City, came in pretending to be a wedding guard.

Kneeling and kowtow; "Master, something is happening."

Shaodian Sishui was thinking about what to arrange next. He casually looked up at the guard who came in, his expression slightly paused.

This was the spy she placed in Da Rui City to keep an eye on Song Huitian.

"What's the matter?"

Deadpool presented a letter of evidence with both hands.

"The mute girl couldn't stand the torture and confessed."

"You're admitting so soon?"
